Trips & Falls

If you have been injured while on the property of another person, because of the negligence of the owner or property manager, you may have a premises liability case or a trip and fall. Premises injuries may occur in many places, including office buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, parking facilities and apartment buildings.

Under the law, grocery stores must clean up spills in a reasonalbe time and manner, commercial buildings must fix stairs or railings that are damaged or defective, and shopping malls are required to provide adequate security for customers.

In a slip and fall situation, the victim may slip on a wet area on the floor causing injury. In a trip and fall, the victim may trip over stairs, debris, or uneven pavement causing injury. In the event that a property owner fails to protect people on the property they may be liable under New York law.
